BIG GAME TAILGATING FOR MOBILE VIEWERS
Tailgating warriors range from the most serious of fans to the folks that don’t quite manage to get in the gates for that championship game. These fans can now watch the big game from that very tailgate. Gridiron battles and ballpark miracles generate cherished memories. From the days of listening to the score updates of conference rivals via AM radio, to trying desperately to get that connection on a smartphone to follow live streaming, the interest in the games you’re not at has always been there. Holding the key to that game may make you the most popular member of your tailgating party. Here are five tailgating scenarios and tips to keep you connected, safe and ready to enjoy your tailgating experience! 1. Collapsible kitchen kits, retractable cutting boards and disinfecting wipes provide a simple prepping and serving system for tailgating on the go. After the big game when it’s time to retrieve your gear, you’ve got a clean and secure tote ready for action the next weekend. 2. “The Grove” is where Ole Miss fans have tailgated in its breathtaking, tree-lined, 10-acre field for generations. But this beautiful tailgating spot also has all types of cellular and WiFi signal disruptions,
and north of 100,000 people vying for a WiFi connection. Winegard Company’s ConnecT 2.0 WiFi/4G LTE extender improves exclusive connectivity for your party. Waterproof and backed by a warranty, this device is less than two feet in diameter but gets the signals you need to be the quarterback of your tailgating team. 3. The Washington Huskies boast another unique tailgating scene. On the shores of Washington Lake, many fans “tailgate” in the multiple harbors. Often folks hop from one boat slip to the next. However, the most crowded of slips will be those that have a

And setting up is easy, with several mounting options for your convenience, from a tripod for easy positioning on the dock, to a window attachment for your vehicle or placement on your RV. 4. Aboard any tailgating vessel, fire extinguishers are a requirement, and first aid kits are also a great idea. Having these things on hand, water or land, will save the day of a loved one or a fellow fan.
5. What about night games or games in stormy weather? A waterproof flashlight or lantern can provide even the weariest of fans an opportunity to pack up camp after the big game safely and efficiently. Using lights with clamps leaves both hands available to avoid an amateur one-handed acrobatic packing effort. Don’t forget a set of extra batteries to ensure your light shines and you all can depart safely. Given these tips, fans will stay safe and connected, with cherished memories engraved forever. - (BPT)

UPPING YOUR GAME WATCHING PARTY You’re looking forward to the big game, and you’ve invited all your friends for what should be an exciting day. But now the big questions persist: Do you have enough food? Is my menu going to make everyone happy? What more do you need for a successful game day party? Here are a few simple tips to up your game and make it a day to remember ... win or lose. 1. Make space for a big crowd Take a good look at your living room, den or wherever you’re planning to watch the big game together. Create an open place by removing some clutter to make room for your friends. Pressed for time? Stick random items you don’t know what to do with in a big box or bin and store in another room. Remove extra furniture - like end tables - to make enough room for everybody to sit and move around. We all know how excited we can get when our favorite team scores. Keep in mind that you do need to keep at least that coffee table for all those great snacks you’ll be serving. 2. Give everyone the best seat in your “stadium” On game day, the right TV makes all the difference, and now is perhaps the best opportunity to invest in that high-tech big screen TV you’ve always wanted. LG Electronics is offering for a very limited time the lowest prices ever for the top-rated and critically-acclaimed LG B8 OLED TV with AI ThinQ. LG OLED’s highprecision images, incredible color and wide viewing angles deliver the ultimate theater-quality experience in your home. The LG B8 OLED TV has 8 million-plus pixels for crisp details, making it ideal for sports. Impress your game day fans with a new 55-
or 65-inch model that will make them feel like they’re actually at the game. 3. Make comfort a priority Chances are, you don’t have bleachers in your home - but do you have enough seating for everyone in the room where you’ll be watching? Don’t try to cram five people onto a three-person sofa. Instead, move a few extra chairs into the room from elsewhere in the house if needed. Think ahead as to when guests may stand or sit - the halftime show is a fan favorite when most people prefer to sit. 4. Prepare for a thirsty crowd Plan a variety of drink options, especially if you’re inviting families with kids or friends who prefer nonalcoholic beverages. Make sure to supply alternatives such as flavored water and soft drinks, so everyone can enjoy their drink of choice during the game. 5. Get the greatest snacks Everyone loves game-day snacks, but a few bags of chips and some
store-bought dip just doesn’t impress anymore. There are so many crowdpleasing favorites, from nachos and wings to chili and pizza, but if you’re not a great cook, you don’t need to let that get in your way. Many grocery stores and restaurants will prep a big spread that you can pick up that day. It’s as simple as calling ahead to make your order. Or, if friends are willing, go potluck. Ask everyone to tell you what they’re bringing, though, so you don’t end up with five pots of chili and nothing else. Prep or buy more food than you think you’ll need, just in case the game goes into overtime! No matter which team you’re rooting for, your game day party will score big with the right setting in your home, delicious snacks and the perfect viewing screen to bring all the action to life. Find out more about your viewing options at lg.com and you’ll come out as this year’s MVP.. - (BPT)

$100 MILLION PRICE DROP, COMES WITH ART AND AUTOMOBILES!
Time to pull out the billionaire’s checkbook! This over-the-top supermansion might be a match for the homebody super rich who don’t fancy scooting around to the world’s hot spots via their private jets or mega yachts to jump from party to party. It already has world-class entertainment just inside its doors. Two years ago, this mansion floated in rarified air as the country’s most expensive home at $250 million. It was a shocking listing both in price and amenities. Though no longer the most expensive with an overall price drop of $100 million, it still comes stocked with every high-end piece of decor, art, automobiles, staff and amenity possible. Newly priced at $150 million. “This home was curated for the ultimate billionaire who wants the best of everything that exists in life,” said developer Bruce Makowsky when he put the turnkey Bel Air giga mansion on the market for the first time in early 2017. It was lauded to be the 21st century’s answer to a new housing niche in the luxury market where the new owner would only have to bring his toothbrush and a bathing suit - or not - to begin

living the dream. Everything else was supplied: furnishings, walls and niches filled with curated art, a $30 million collection of exotic cars and motorcycles, two fully-stocked champagne-and-wine cellars, the most advanced home-tech system in the world, two alligator-upholstered elevators and, to sweeten the pie just a little more, . . a massive candy wall in the game room with help-yourself glass cylinders of every favorite. . . and let’s not forget the helicopter! But that’s not all. For two years from the onset of ownership, the developer supplies a personal chef, a masseuse and five other full-time employees who live on site in a separate staff wing and whose salaries have been paid. Awash with every conceivable amenity for comfortable living and entertaining, the 38,000-square-foot manse has two master suites, ten large VIP guest suites, 21 luxury baths, three gourmet kitchens, five bars, a massage studio and wellness spa and a state-of-the-art fitness center. Makowsky studied land from the ground and air until he found the perfect spot in the hills of Bel Air with a 270-degree view reaching from the

San Gabriel Mountains to the Pacific Ocean beaches of Malibu. From all levels of the house and from the glass-tiled pool and wide terraces, the views are big - from the mountains all the way to the ocean. It’s the second chance for the next round of billionaires to get in line for an opportunity to snare this luxurious and edgy new mansion that comes fully staffed and a garage filled to the brim with glamorous cars
and neighbors like Rod Stewart and Steve Martin. Newly priced at $150 million after a dramatic overall $100 million price cut. Co-listing agents are Rayni Williams and Branden Williams of Hilton & Hyland, Beverly Hills and Shawn Elliott of Nest Seekers International, Beverly Hills.

PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY OF ORANGE COUNTY ANNOUNCES CHINESE NEW YEAR CELEBRATION
The Philharmonic Society of Orange County is pleased to present its Chinese New Year Celebration on Monday, February 18, 2019, 8pm, at Segerstrom Hall, Segerstrom Center for the Arts. Bringing a rare opportunity to experience the quintessence of Chinese culture, the Chinese New Year Celebration features a performance by the Hubei Chime Bells National Chinese Orchestra, as well as the internationally renowned China National Beijing Opera Company, Troupe One, with special appearances by Peking Opera superstars Yu Kuizhi and Li Shengsu. This performance is part of the Philharmonic Society’s Eclectic Orange Series, sponsored by Judith and Howard Jelinek. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Monday, December 17. The first half of the program features the Hubei Chime Bells National Chinese Orchestra performing works that transport listeners to ancient China. In 1978, a set of 2,500-yearold bronze and stone chime bells were excavated from the tomb of a Chinese ruler from the Bronze Age in Hubei, China. Believed to be the earliest twelve-tone equal temperament instruments in the world, these chime bells create an authentic, melodious timbre and also are breathtaking to behold due to their grand scale and elaborate cast technique. Additionally, other traditional instruments are featured on the program, including the qing, a stone or jade chime; the xun, a vessel flute; and the se, a plucked zither. The second half of the concert features Troupe One of the China National Beijing Opera Company
presenting three scenes from the Peking opera repertoire that include instrumental music, vocal performance, mime, dance and acrobatics. Dressed in traditional costumes with full makeup, celebrated performers Yu Kuizhi and Li Shengsu are featured on a program that includes scenes from three classic Peking operas: Divergence, Palace of Eternal Life, as well as Uproar in Heaven, a classic Chinese story that follows the adventures of the mischievous Monkey King who wreaks havoc in his rebellion against the Jade Emperor. The Hubei Chime Bells National Chinese Orchestra is a part of the Hubei Provincial Opera and Dance Drama Theatre, which is a leading performing arts organization that produces and performs traditional and folk opera, dance and music of the Hubei province. Committed to innovation in the arts, the theatre has won numerous awards including the first prize of the Excellent Performance Award of the first China Opera Festival, a Wenhua Award and Hubei Five-One Project Award. Through their international tours, the Hubei Chime Bells National Chinese Orchestra commits itself to cultural exchange and establishing connections between Chinese people and people from all over the world through visual and auditory performances. Founded in 1955 as China’s premier Peking opera organization, the China National Beijing Opera Company is one of the national ensembles of performance arts directly under the supervision of the Ministry of Culture, People’s Republic of China.
The company includes acclaimed performers, playwrights, directors, composers and stage designers and has presented productions ranging over the wide diversity of Peking opera performance styles. The company’s Troupe One is its most esteemed, delivering the highest quality performances of traditional and contemporary repertoire. Masters of their generation, leading artist Yu Kuizhi and acclaimed director Li Shengsu have enhanced the artistic style of Troupe One, which also includes numerous performers who have won awards in national competitions. Segerstrom Center for the Arts, Segerstrom Hall, is located at 600 Town Center Drive, Costa Mesa, CA 92626. Ticket prices start at $28 and are available at the Philharmonic Society box office at (949) 553-2422, online at www.PhilharmonicSociety. org, and at the Center box office at (714) 556-2787. Artists, programs and prices are subject to change. A B O U T T H E P H I L H A R M O N I C S O C I E T Y: Founded in 1954, the Philharmonic Society of Orange County presents the world’s most acclaimed symphony orchestras, chamber ensembles, soloists and international artists for the enjoyment and appreciation of Orange County audiences. A catalyst for cultural and educational development throughout the region, the Philharmonic Society is a key resident company in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall at Segerstrom Center for the Arts, and also presents concerts at the Irvine Barclay Theatre and various venues in Orange County.
For more than 60 years, the Society has presented artists who set the standards for artistic achievement: Sir Georg Solti, Itzhak Perlman, Jacqueline du Pré, Daniel Barenboim, Lorin Maazel and Cecilia Bartoli, to name just a few. In addition, many of the world’s greatest orchestras have performed in Orange County by invitation of the Philharmonic Society. The Society celebrated the diversity of our cultural landscape with Eclectic Orange Festival presentations from 1999-2004. Eclectic Orange events championed contemporary composers through commissions and sponsorship of regional and world premieres. Among the living composers presented were Tan Dun, Philip Glass, Osvaldo Golijov, John Adams, Edgar Meyer, Burhan Öçal and Mikel Rouse. Past presentations include the West Coast premiere of Steve Reich’s “The Cave,” the Southern California premiere of Terry Riley’s “Sun Rings,” the United States exclusive engagement of Théâtre Zingaro, the West Coast premiere of “Orion” by Philip Glass, the West Coast premiere of Steve Reich’s “WTC 9/11”, and the 2011 exclusive West Coast recital appearance of opera superstar Renée Fleming. The Society’s nationally recognized Youth Music Education Programs, one of the most extensive music education programs of its kind in the country, are offered free of charge to schools, students and parents, and each year reach more than 160,000 students from first grade through high school.

CHILDHELPS’ “NASHVILLE NIGHTS” RAISES OVER $460,000 FOR CHILDREN Anyone wanting to spend a fun-filled evening in Nashville found just that at Childhelp’s Fall Gala, at the Resort at Pelican Hill. “Nashville Nights” CoChairs, Susan Hill, Kristen James and Pam Pharris organized the Orange County Chapter’s 5th annual gala where guests enjoyed live music by The Arnie Newman Band, whiskey tasting sponsored by The Macallan, gambling, dining and dancing. Live and Silent Auctions and the Grand Prize Raffle provided opportunities for everyone to contribute toward stopping child abuse and neglect. Contribute, they did - the event raised over $460,000! Guests dressed in their best Western wear, had a fabulous pre-party drinks and appetizers, and a scrumptious dinner of Sweet Corn, Jicama, Asian Pear and Cucumber with Avocado Puree salad, a duet entree of Braised Asian-Style Beef Short Ribs and Ginger Blazed Sea Bass along with Horseradish Mashed Potatoes, Haricots Verts, with Carrots in a Cabernet Sauce. Then desserts were a Snickers Chocolate Cream Bar and a Blackberry Chocolate Tart. After dinner, the evening’s program began with Chapter President, Julie Adams, welcoming everyone. She then called on the Men’s Committee Chairs, Mark Adams and Bud Pharris to present the “Benevolent Heart Award.” This year’s awardees were the chapter’s youth auxiliary, WINGS. This group of approximately 60 7th to 12th grade students holds fundraising events, organize annual carnivals at the Merv Griffin Childhelp Village in Beaumont, and they created a WINGS Clubs at their schools throughout Orange County, all to support the lifesaving programs and services provided by Childhelp. The kids say that they’re just “kids helping kids,” but in just 3 short years they have proven just what a truly amazing group of students they are. As dessert was served, the energetic Live Auction began with auctioneer Zack Krone, enticing robust bidding as guests competed to win one of the nine items offered. First up was the diamond-encrusted guitar necklace, a perfect homage to the Nashville scene! Additional Live Auction items included the Ultimate Macallan Party for 10, Pelican Hill Getaway, Catalina Island Adventure, Private Dinner for 12 prepared by Chef Yianni, Luxury Big Bear Getaway, VIP NASCAR and IVI Vision Experience, and an Exceptional Liquor Cabinet. Last minute add-on items included a private jet to Las Vegas plus a very VIP package. The highlight of the Live Auction was the heated bidding for the opportunity to attend Childhelp’s Diamond Jubilee “Drive the Dream” Gala. This event will celebrate 60 years of Childhelp and includes exclusive invitations with Childhelp Founders, Sara O’Meara and Yvonne Fedderson. At the conclusion of the Live Auction, guests moved on to Line Dancing, led by Kristal Lynn, and gaming. To close the gala, celebrity ambassadors Maksim and Peta drew the ticket for the Grand Prize and presented it to winner, Sepi Tabai. Event Committee Members included Iris Asbury, Linda Burns, Christine Bren, Nancy Cardin, Lynn Dowers, Susan Earlabaugh, Patricia Ford, Kelly Haugen, Christine Johnson, Jennifer Kite, Katherine Meredith, Diana Miner, Alison Moriarty, Tami Smith, Gina Van Ocker, Shan Vincent, and Joy WhitlockEstrada. Men’s Committee Members included Scott Amling, Matthew Blake, Jay Burns, Mike Haugen David James, Paul McDonald, Chris Miner, Patrick Moriarty, Mark Simon, Brett Smith, Alix Vincent and Zlatko Zadro.

FESTIVAL OF ARTS NOW ACCEPTING SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATIONS
The Festival of Arts in Laguna Beach is proud to announce that the scholarship applications for high school seniors who reside in Laguna Beach or attend a Laguna Beach High School are now open for applicant submissions online. Applicants may apply for any or all four categories. The four-year, highly competitive scholarships are awarded to students who excel in Film, Performing Arts (dance, music and theatre arts- including performance and production), Visual Arts and Writing. Recipients will only be awarded one scholarship. Since 1957, the Festival of Arts scholarship program has supported rising young artists by making it possible for students to pursue college studies in the arts. “Students with talents in multiple fields are encouraged to submit an application in more than one category,” said Festival of Arts Board Secretary and Scholarship Chair Pat Kollenda. She continued, “This is an excellent opportunity for students who are considering a career in the arts.” Scholarship applications are now available online at the Festival’s website foapom.com/scholarships. An applicant must be a graduating
high school senior who resides in Laguna Beach or attends Laguna Beach High School. Application deadline is March 8, 2019. Auditions and interviews will be scheduled in March and April 2018. Scholarship awards begin at a minimum of $1,000 and can be renewed for a total of four one-year scholarships. Students must reapply each summer for a continuation of scholarship status. Last year, the Festival of Arts awarded nearly $30,000 to graduating seniors for the 2019 - 2020 academic year. Many scholarship winners pursue successful careers in the arts, and some even return to the Festival as exhibiting artists. In addition to Scholarship Committee Chair Pat Kollenda, committee members include Wayne Baglin, Marge Earl, Kathy Jones and Jacquie Moffett. For general scholarship information, call Michelle Reindl at (949) 464-4201 or visit the website at LagunaFestivalofArts.org. The Festival of Arts is a nonprofit organization that produces the Festival of Arts fine art show and the Pageant of the Masters. Its mission is to support the arts and art education Katrina Carras received the Festival or Arts Scholarship Award in in and about Laguna Beach. Visual Arts for her drawings in 2009.

TIPS TO TACKLE A TASTY GAME DAY MENU
Just like your favorite sports team, hosting a winning big-game party or tailgate takes planning, preparation and teamwork. To make your festivities fun-filled, remember these entertaining tips that are sure to score big with your fans. Scatter the refreshments. Help direct movement and traffic flow by setting up food stations. Using different rooms or areas helps prevent congestion and encourages guests to mingle. Try placing finger foods and other appetizers in a couple of locations, beverages in another area and desserts in yet another space. Embrace variety. Take into account taste preferences and dietary needs, and have an assortment of food and drinks available. Offer spicy options along with less seasoned dishes, both indulgent and better-for-you treats, plus an array of beverages for drinkers and non-drinkers alike. Build your roster. If your party is a potluck, encourage guests to sign up for dishes so you don’t end up with multiple versions of the same thing. Create a discussion group online, or simply ask guests to indicate what they’ll bring along with their RSVP. Don’t forget the dips. Wings are a tailgating staple, and dips are a great way to complement those zesty flavors or cool the heat, but you may find yourself in a team rivalry when it comes to the preferred dip at the game day bash: ranch or bleu cheese dressing? Both pair well with a range of wing flavors, so these dips are sure to be crowd pleasers. The delicious combination of fresh herb and vegetable flavors make Litehouse Homestyle Ranch a perfect party choice, and Litehouse
Chunky Bleu Cheese features fresh buttermilk, homemade mayonnaise and a blend of spices as the backdrop for award-winning artisan blue cheese chunks that will make your fellow sports fans cheer for more. Expand on tradition. Tailgating is a time-honored tradition, and the food lineup is often based on familiar fare. Along with those fan favorites, don’t be afraid to put some new flavors into play, such as these Sticky Sesame Chicken Wings that add a tangy ethnic flair to traditional wings. Find more game day recipes at LitehouseFoods. com. Sticky Sesame Chicken Wings Yield: 4 servings Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 40 minutes 1/4 cup flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 20 chicken wings 3 tablespoons soy sauce 2 tablespoons sesame oil 1/2 teaspoon Litehouse Instantly Fresh Garlic 3 tablespoons water, divided 1/2 cup brown sugar 1 tablespoon cornstarch sliced green onions, for garnish sesame seeds, for garnish celery sticks (optional) Litehouse Homestyle Ranch and Chunky Bleu Cheese Dressing Heat oven to 400 F. In large bag, combine flour and salt. Add chicken
wings and shake to coat. Discard any leftover flour. Line baking sheet with foil and spray with pan spray of your choice. Place wings in single layer on baking sheet. Bake wings 40-45 minutes, turning halfway through. In sauce pan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, 2 tablespoons water and brown sugar. Whisk together remaining water and cornstarch, and pour into sauce. Bring to boil then simmer until thickened. When wings are done, toss with sauce, garnish with green onion and sesame seeds, and serve with celery sticks, ranch and bleu cheese dressing. (Family Features)
